Word of Wisdom from Mi Daily Devotion

Proverbs 11:1 KJV

"A false balance is abomination to the Lord : but a just weight is his delight."

"Delight" is the most used and common word in many Christian churches at the start of the New Year. The reason for that is because of the scheduled "Heart's Desire Sunday" that they set aside for the said purpose - to delight in God in order to obtain your desire or desires in life. It's a special Sunday where many Christians write their heart's desire for the year or years to come and pray for it. What does it (the desire) has to do with delight? The answer is what David wrote; (Psalm 37:4 KJV) "Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Read Romans 19:1. - By Ely Roque Sagansay

Random Ideas for Pastors and Christian Churches

I was sharing this to my wife on our way to church. A church that does not make a BUZZ is either a church that need revival, a dying church or a dead church.

In entertainment industry; actors, actresses, and producers or film makers here in the USA spend a good amount of dollars for good and bad publicity. They spend so much money for promotions such as TV ads or mass media to make a BUZZ. One of the goal is to win the hearts and minds of the people to buy their products- their movie, film or music.

The church don't need good and bad publicity to make a BUZZ, but it needs to do its job and responsibilities to make a difference, to make an impact and influence in it's small world with the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We need to follow the examples of Jesus and the Apostles. We need to exercise what the church and the Christians in the book of Acts (specifically chapters 1 to 5) put into practiced: 1- Pray, 2- Preach, teach, witness, testify in the name of Christ. 3- Study the Word. (Public and Private Devotion and Meditation) 4- Serve others, 5- Gave themselves and their offerings, 6- Remember the widows and the less fortunate, 7- Pray for the sick... (Hospital visitation)

I noticed that type of music, Bible translations or form of worship was not even the factor of their growth.

If your church or if a Christian church is not into this- I will not be surprise if the church you are in right now is not making a BUZZ or it's not growing. - By Ely Roque Sagansay

Word of Wisdom from Mi Daily Devotion

Proverbs 10:1 KJV

"The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother."

Do you have heaviness? Do you have a heavy heart? Heaviness is a word that really scares people just think of it... But heaviness could be profitable for us and others if it's from the Lord. For example, If I say; "I have heaviness in my heart due to my heart desire to carry out the burden that God laid down in my heart for his work and people." Therefore "heaviness" is not always negative or bad. The sad part- (Psalm 69:20 KJV) "Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none." The good part, heaviness can cause us to humble ourselves. (Proverbs 12:25 KJV) "Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad." - By Ely Roque Sagansay

Word of Wisdom from Mi Daily Devotion

Proverbs 9:1 KJV

"Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:"

The word "hewn" was beautifully defined in YourDictionary.com- "The definition of hewn is something chiseled or shaped with a tool.

1. An example of something hewn is a stone marker chiseled from a large rock. verb Hewn is defined as to have made, shaped or cut. a. Having made a pottery bowl is an example of hewn. b. Having cut down a tree is an example of hewn."

We were told by the Lord Jesus Christ to abide in Him because of our frailty and our flaws. He understand our weakness. Jesus said; (John 15:5 KJV) "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." Read the whole chapter fifteen of the book of John. - By Ely Roque Sagansay

Salvation is Built in...

Salvation is built in love, faith, and trust. It was the love of God the Father that made Jesus died on the cross for every human beings. It is our faith to God the Father and our faith to His Son and to His death, burial, and resurrection. When we turned back from our sin, He made us His children. God entrust to us  His name- "Jesus Christ". Therefore we bear His name wherever we are, and every time we confess, proclaim, and proudly declare we're "CHRISTians". When you become one (Christian), you have to live up with that name. That's what made Christianity different from Muslims, Jews, and other religions.
